From 2004 to December, 2005, the Skala website was managed by Susana Leistner Bloch and Edward Rosenbaum, whose work to memorialize Skala is acknowledged with thanks. Responsibility for this site, which has been completely reorganized and expanded, was granted to the Skala Research Group in December, 2005

Skala is included in the Suchostaw Region Research Group (SRRG). Shtetlach were interwoven together like a tapestry and the Jewish people of neighboring shtetlach linked by marriages, trade and marketing. They shared schools, cemeteries, kosher butchers, bakers and more. Smaller shtetlach registered their birth, marriages and death in a nearby larger shtetl. One should research the neighboring area as well as an individual shtetl. The SRRG web site has resources and information that is relevant to many shtetlach. To search for family links and learn more about neighboring shtetlach, please visit the Suchostaw Region Research Group (SRRG).
